The Tonight Show - The Doobie Brothers

Michael McDonald reunites with The Doobie Brothers on the Tonight Show:


And the web-exclusive: the performance of "What a Fool Believes".


Karl Pilkington once said that he doesn't understand the point of a medley and I think I see where he's coming from. Why two half songs instead of one whole one? Isn't it selling yourself short to say that people can't get through the whole song? Was it some weird compromise between the "Doobie Brothers" camp and the "Michael McDonald" camp? Well, "What a Fool Believes" is great.

Tonight Show - Mix Tape Month

What was called the "Yacht Rock Party" has now perhaps been changed into Mix Tape Month. Instead of limiting themselves to the Yacht Rock genre, they're going to have "one of Jimmy's favorite [musical] guests" on to perform. And instead of one day, it's once every week for a month.

The lineup is:

Thursday - Christopher Cross performs "Sailing".
TBA - Yolanda Adams performs "Victory".
TBA - The Doobie Brothers reunite with Michael McDonald

That's it. Are there three weeks in a month? I think the quality control may be slipping. But that aside, I like the choices. I mean, all I need is "Sailing" anyway.
